3.5" 2 TB SATA desktop drive

This 3.5-inch internal hard drive offers 2 TB of storage on a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and is supplied as a bare drive. The unit is new and designed for standard desktop bays.

Suits desktops needing high-capacity SATA storage

It fits desktop systems with a free 3.5-inch bay and a SATA 3.0Gb/s port. It does not suit laptops or compact devices that require 2.5-inch drives. Builders without a SATA connection should look elsewhere.

SATA 3.0Gb/s interface

The drive connects via a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface, also referred to as Serial ATA/300. This single specification determines whether the drive is compatible with the host system.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the 7200 RPM 3.5" mechanism produce during continuous operation?

The 7200 RPM spindle speed generates typical desktop-class heat and audible seek noise; ensure your chassis has adequate airflow over the 3.5" drive bay for all-day use.

Which host connector and physical bay does the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface require?

A motherboard or controller with a standard SATA 3.0Gb/s port plus a free 3.5" drive bay and both SATA data and power cables are needed for installation.

Will the SATA 3.0Gb/s link limit throughput on an older SATA 1.5Gb/s controller?

The drive negotiates down to 1.5Gb/s on legacy controllers, so it functions correctly but maximum sequential transfer rate is capped at the slower bus speed.
